Application Process
Commitment to Equity Art in Public Places embraces cultural equity. It is the goal of the program to ensure as many people as possible have meaningful
engagements with public art and access to viewing, experiencing, and creating artwork. AIPP actively seeks to provide members
of historically underrepresented communities, which can include identities such as Black or African-American, Arab-American,
Asian-American, Hispanic or LatinX, Pacific Islander, Indigenous Nations, LGBTQIA, or a person with a disability, with equitable
access to public art opportunities. In support of this commitment, the program will make every effort to expand access to the
collection and programmatic decision-making. For each project, every effort will be made to comprise project selection panels
and finalist pools for AIPP commissions with representatives from a variety of historically underrepresented communities to
better reflect the diversity of Austin.
The City of Austin is working to better diversify applicants in our collection, please complete the survey at the link below prior to submitting your application to be eligible for this opportunity.
